To have had gin

It's 5.17pm and I'm half cut!

In my defence, ds is with his dad and my dsc with their mum so I'm in charge of no one.

I'm in a tier 4 area and I have had enough! I'm miserable. Gin helps, send more

HelenaJustina · 30/12/2020 17:34

I need gin tonight. Trying to plough through a bit more of the mammoth list I set myself today first... but the chinking ice cubes are calling me!

CanofCant · 30/12/2020 17:35

No, not at all. You've inspired me to pour one.

SauvignonBlanche · 30/12/2020 17:36

YANBU at all, I’m just about to have one too Gin

Chimeraforce · 30/12/2020 17:37

I've had gin every evening since Christmas eve. Also tier 4. Crack on!

Cleverpolly3 · 30/12/2020 17:43

This is nothing to feel guilty about
Enjoy

BroomHandledMouser · 30/12/2020 17:44

YANBU - In fact I’m having one now too!

Powerplant · 30/12/2020 18:10

I’m all out of gin but will be opening the Prosecco.

WouldstrokeTomHardy · 30/12/2020 18:15

I have wine to take the edge off my hangover

I want a gin but I have a sleeping cat on my lap. And everyone else is too busy playing fortnite to get me one. ☹️

Thesagacontinues · 30/12/2020 18:18

I rarely drink but for the last few weeks I've had a glass of rose wine around this time every evening. One bottle would last me 4/5 days. I have now ran out of it so have none for this evening Sad

CoronaIsWatching · 30/12/2020 18:19

I wasn't going to drink tonight but realised it's the penultimate night before dry january!

nosswith · 30/12/2020 18:20

It depends not when you finish but when you start on the gin, in my opinion.

EggnogAndAMincepie · 30/12/2020 18:21

I had gin around 5am this morning. Not intentionally like. I got up to feed the Feline and in my half asleep state grabbed the half full glass on my bedside table and gulped it down. It wasn't until I got the Parma violet taste I realised what I'd done. Must've fallen asleep last night and not drank the glass of go and lemonade I took with me. Gin and flat lemonade is a bit rank though

You need to train the cat. I have three. One is on my lap most nights, one around my back like a stole the other squished up next to me or on my feet. They understand when I say “gin time”. They instantly leap off mummy’s lap and wander to the kitchen 😂

They’re all girls. Wonder if that’s why!

Suzi888 · 30/12/2020 18:21

Tier 4 Wine I had a shandy at 2pm! No booze from the 1st Jan!

lilfoxfur · 30/12/2020 18:21

I'm doing dry January too! Might as well make the most of the last 2 days 😂

Tier 4 primary school teacher here. Utterly pissed off with the situation. Gin is the answer

DreamingInColours · 30/12/2020 18:23

Mmmm G&T for me once the littlest one is asleep. Currently watching --even more Mister Tumble

Yellredder · 30/12/2020 18:23

On the gin here too, cheers!

SauvignonBlanche · 30/12/2020 18:28

Finished my gin, have moved onto the Sauvignon Blanc now - cheers!

BovrilonToast · 30/12/2020 18:29

I could train them, but I have trained DH to make g&t to my exacting standards. Thankfully they have all died in Fortnite now and I have gin and a cat.

WalkingOnStarshine · 30/12/2020 18:30

I think I've had gin or some other alcoholic beverage every day for the last few weeks. I was planning a dry January but that can fuck off now.
